Bob's Discount Furniture Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bob's Discount Furniture (Chicago, IL) in June 2017.

Interview

Easy, simple questions. More like a conversation. I met with 2 people, interviewed over the phone with 2 more people, then a phone interview with the regional manager.

Interview

The external recruiting company made initial screening contact and set a formal interview time. Told to arrive 15 minutes or more prior to the interview, which I did, and was told by the store manager "you're really early - sit over there" - she was too interested in her phone.

The external recruiter provided the wrong information regarding the position I was applying for (explicitly told them part time but onsite interviewers had down full time) and the manager couldn't locate my resume. Subsequently interviewed with three assistant managers who all asked essentially the same questions. All were pleasant enough. Each one conferred with the subsequent interviewer. The final discussion was with the store manager. I found her to be abrupt and very rude. She was very clearly not someone I would want to work for and her uppity attitude ensures that I will never shop at Bob's nor encourage anyone else to do so. There was zero follow up of any kind.

Overall, a highly unprofessional experience for a company that says they're all about customer satisfaction.

Interview

I was interviewed by 3 managers in 2 days. The last manager was the General Manager, very nice lady. I was told to sell a dining set, and I did a pretty good job, cause the manager interviewing me was ready to buy it. And then the last interview was more of a conversation on my previous employment.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bob's Discount Furniture (Manchester, CT) in September 2016.

Interview

You first have to fill out all your info on the company website, then I went thru a phone interview with the HR dept, then after passing that, I was asked to do several online assessments, which took at least 2 hours. After that I was then called by the IT dept manager who also had her assistant manager on the line. They both asked questions and after about 20 minutes, they asked me to come in for an interview. I then drove to the main office in Manchester, CT, first interviewed with the HR person, then with the IT manager, then with the assistant manager, then with two guys already working in the IT dept. So each person felt I was good enough to get to the next level and had 5 interviews that one day. I was told that I would hear something in a few days. Well that was months ago. Never heard a word from anyone at the company. I sent a thank you letter to the IT manager that night, thanking her for her time & consideration and allowing to meet the IT team. I felt the interviews went well, which they must have felt too since I kept the interview process going. So all together I devoted about 8 full hours and to hear absolutely nothing, unacceptable! At least have the common decency to let me know you went in another direction. To leave applicants hanging is totally unprofessional. Was highly disappointing with this company.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bob's Discount Furniture in September 2016.

Interview

Started with a phone interview with a very friendly recruiter the call went well and was basic manager questions. By the end of the call she felt she could find something in the company for me (we went over which locations would work for me and possible positions). She let me know I might hear from one of her peers by the end of the week. I received a call a few days later from a peer. It was a very different call. The women was pretty rude and condescending through out the interview. At the end of the call I asked what the hiring process was like. She bluntly said they generally promote from within, since they already know the position. Then she let me know I would hear back from them next week via email. Overall it was a big waste of time. If they are going to promote from within... perhaps they should start internally before posting the job for externals.
